%%* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence

to:

%%* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Vector Prime has always existed outside the flow of time, so when he sacrificed himself in "Guardian", he merely sacrifices his physical body - Vector Prime will still exist as long as time itself still exists.



%%* HeroicSacrifice

to:

%%* HeroicSacrifice* HeroicSacrifice: Vector Prime gives up his physical body in "Guardian" in order to reverse time so the Autobots can return to their home universe from the space bridge, which was previously closed to ward off an attack from Planet X residents.



* ChekhovsGunman: Played with. Although Starscream namedrops him in ''Armada'', he wasn't actually a character there; in ''Micron Legend'', ''Armada''[='=]s original Japanese dub, Starscream's new colors are simply labelled on his Takara toy as his "Super Mode", while the dub changed it to connect with the Hasbro release of the toy, which labels him as Thundercracker instead. In addition, ''Micron Legend'' and ''Galaxy Force'' were meant as separate continuities, while the ''Cybertron'' dub merges them both.

to:

* CallingYourAttacks: Apart from the usual transforming and Cyber Key power-up cries, Thundercracker has two rather goofy-sounding attacks that he uses when the situation goes dire; "Rain of Ultimate DEEE-struction" in "Darkness", and "Super Electric Lightning Thundercrackin' Punch" in "Ambush"
* ChekhovsGunman: Played with.Downplayed.

* CasanovaWannabe: He attempts to woo Thunderblast by racing against Hot Shot... not that he lost the race ''and'' Thunderblast not interested with him, anyway.
* CoolBike: His alt-mode is a sleek, futuristic sports bike.

to:

* BoobsOfSteel: Figuratively and ''literally'', literally, as her animation model has what appears to be breasts with ''protruding nipples'' under her chest armor.



* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Played straight in both the Japanese and English dubs, as she's the only female Decepticon character to appear. The Japanese dub, however, takes this further by having her as the only major female Cybertronian character, since Override was the male Nitro Convoy in that version of the show.

* TheVamp: A defied example. She clings into the strongest Decepticon such as Galvatron in order to gain power from him... although he's too busy trying to conquer the universe to even recognize her advances.

While it was no big deal for Evac, said event was the most important one for that boys life. That boy was Colonel Mike Franklin, who would grow up to become a government agent so he could learn about the Transformers and properly thank Evac, becoming one of the Autobots most valuable allies on Earth. Evac meanwhile actually needed a minute to jog his memory when they finally met all those years later.

to:

* RecurringElement: Evac acts as the guardian of Earth's Cyber Planet Key, represented by his Cyber Power Key having a gold outline instead of the usual silver. Unlike Override, Scourge, and Metroplex however, Evac is only the ''guardian'', not ''ruler'' of Earth. His ''Galaxy Force'' name makes this more explicit, where like the others he shares the name "Convoy", in his case "Live Convoy".



* [[DemonSlaying Demon Catcher]]: Retired.
* [[{{Protectorate}} Protector]]: Of the primative humans who the ancient Decepticons terrorized.

to:

* [[DemonSlaying Demon Catcher]]: Retired.
DemonSlaying: {{Invoked|Trope}}. Crosswise fancies himself a "monster hunter" who works in the shadows, largely due to the fact the ancient Decepticons he focused on capturing made a habit of acting or disguising themselves as monsters in the past.
* DemotedToExtra: Crosswise is only with the group up until the class on Cybertron. Afterwards, while Evac sticks with Optimus while they go to Gigantion, Crosswise heads back to Earth to deal with the escaped ancient Decepticons.
* InconsistentDub: Crosswise is irregularly referred to as "Smokescreen" early on. This is largely due to the fact that, during production, his name ''was'' Smokescreen, but got changed later on, with some early scripts failing to account for said change.
* [[{{Protectorate}} Protector]]: Of the primative primitive humans who the ancient Decepticons terrorized.

* OldMaster: While not shown in the show itself, his Cyber Key Code bio describes him as having trained Velocitronians for over a million years ago, even having Override as one of his students.

Added DiffLines:

* AscendedExtra: Transformer series typically keep Primus a figure in the background. ''Cybertron'' gives him a role where he's activily taking part in the series, and is even seen transforming on screen.

to:

* TheMenInBlack
TheMenInBlack: Subverted as he's more interested in protecting the safety of Earth than maintaining the secrecy of the existence of aliens.
* [[spoiler:ReasonableAuthorityFigure]]
ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite his initially intimidating persona, Franklin knows the Autobots are friendly and are willing to work with them as when he was a child, he was rescued from drowning by Evac.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Her CG model has a pair of breasts with protrusions that are quite clearly meant to be nipples. They are visible in low-angle shots, as well as whenever her chest armour lifts up. The animators may not have noticed, but the fans sure as hell did.

to:

* TheWorfEffect: The most egregious example among the Transformer characters, in BOTH the giving and receiving end of this trope. His debut appearance had him singlehandedly fend off Scourge and the other Decepticons, easily defeat Megatron Dark Claw Mode, destroyed Megatron's Nemesis Breaker upgrade, and left Megatron badly injured. In the NEXT episode, Megatron upgraded into Galvatron and defeated Metroplex almost instantly.

Added DiffLines:

* MeaningfulName: The word "overhaul" means to take apart a machine and make the necessary changes and repairs. Overhaul's entire arc is about recognizing the flaws within himself as a person and this also works on a literal level as he is rebuilt as a different type of Transformer entirely.
